Long Autumn, appropriately named, is a retirement home for
theatricals in the autumn of their lives, where euphemism reigns
supreme, together with a firm belief that "elderly" equals "senile". Into
their midst is flung Maisie May, a former music-hall star, too much of a
burden for her strait-laced son and daughter-in-law, who do not find
Maisie amusing. Initially the ever-cheerful, irrepressible Maisie copes
with the rigours of Long Autumn in her own inimitable style, but she
becomes increasingly depressed. Then one day a breezy impresario,
Chris, arrives with big plans for Maisie. She is tempted back to the stage, showing us that it is possible to be old in years, but young in spirit.
